bklv Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Hey guys, I'm hoping to get some help here as I'm a newbie to shooting anamorphic (but I've been shooting and editing for six years now) I just received my SLR Magic Anamorphot and struggling to get it to focus to infinity, midway or even close ups with the diopters attached. I've read quite a bit and I know it takes a while to get a hold of, but my taking lens is a Canon EF 50mm 1.8 II and no matter where I focus it and then re focus the anamorphot I can not get anything reasonably close to in focus, the closest I got was when I stopped the lens down to f18 :-/ I found this video a while ago (which made me want to purchase the lens as it's the same set up I have now) so I just don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 When using + dioptre is only for close focus (ie, +0.5 dioptre changes infinity to 2m), no need for infinity focusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
